MONDAY, Aug. 21, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Women who have larger breasts tend to exercise less or less intensely, according to a new study that suggests having breast reduction surgery could be a game changer.

Appeals Court Upholds Restrictions on Abortion Pill
17 August 2023
THURSDAY, Aug. 17, 2023 (HealthDay News) – The abortion pill mifepristone should remain legal in the United States, but with significant restrictions on access to it, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.The decision, issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans, effectively sets the stage for a showdown before the Supreme Court on the fate of the drug.The lower court ruling from Texas that the federal appeals court weighed would have fully revoked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the medication back in 2000. Instead, this latest decision will end availability of the drug by mail or telemedicine. The three-judge panel also said mifepristone can only be used through seven weeks, instead of 10, and the drug will be required to be...
